Anyone else agree with me on this? I have no desire to play ME3 again because I know that no matter what I do I will end up with one of the 16 horrible endings. With all other ME games I played through them many times, but this one is just going to sit on my hardrive after my most recent playthrough. I just don't see the point in replaying the game knowing I will be just another flavor of depressed when completed.

 I disagree. I think that every other part of this game was well done and I want to go back a try different squad combinations for different areas. And some of the banter alone is worth a replay or two. However, I don't plan on actually completing the ending again until I'm ready to go for the insanity achievement, since the endings didn't offer any closure.

However, I do see where you are coming from. I just don't agree.

[Aesieru]

They have replay value.

It is a bit melancholy though.

[Sashimi_taco]

Every other part of the game is great and replayable but the endings COMPLETELY NEGATE THIS! What is the point in all this work if my crew is screwed over and my shep can't be with them even if she survives anyway?

[Sywen]

 I 100% agree.  This was the only collectors edition I ever bought.  I made my family crazy with my excitement for this game.  I have multiple playthoughs of the first 2.  I loved this game until the endings.  Unless something changes, there is no way I can put myself though this again.  I don't think I can even play 1 and 2 again.  I just feel horrible still hours later.  Real life is sucky enough sometimes...in games I wanna have a choice of some happy ending.

There can be no replay value unless the player feels rewarded at the end. And this isn't just one game, here, but three: over 90 hours of gameplay for most of us Mass Effect vets.

Forcing players to destroy everything they've worked for via some pseudo-philosophical Deus Ex ripoff? "Thank you for wasting your time. Take these feelings of loss, confusion, and betrayal for your efforts, as a gift from the fine folks at Bioware."

Your monocle and top hat seem to bely your statement and infer you're trolling for laughs knowing that that's not actually true in regards to your statement.

[Zenoctilles]

There is plenty of replay value to be found, actually. Squad banter, trying out different imports, etc. But, this game is probably only worth three playthroughs at most.

[Harmonrova]

I definitely won't be going through again.

This was probably part of the multiplayer ploy no doubt.

You obviously haven't seen many of Cheez's posts. I can assure you she's being completely genuine here.

I felt this too once I finished. Give yourself a day or two, then go back. It helped me deal with the lack of closure. Because there is so much that this game does right, and to prevent yourself from enjoying it is sad (not to mention a waste of 80ish dollars).

just my two cents.

I know  what I am going to replay... Xenogears.. .a game that  came out in what 1998 and the whole pseudo-philosphical ending... better.  


I'm going to replay  ME 3 eventually... because I had a blast up untill the End Game that left shaking my head... with more questions than answers.

Nope.

I actually cannot bring myself to finish ME3.  I know how it ends, and I don't want to be forced to feel that way.

[Tashakov]

Agreed.

It hurts to say. I was absolutely head over heels in-love with the game all the way through. I created three different characters to play after I was done with my main playthrough, and couldn't wait to see how things played out differently.


*SPOILERS*





And then the last ten minutes happened. I really wish the game had ended with Anderson and Shepard sitting on the Citadel, staring out at Earth. Just slap on some resolution to that, have the Crucible just be a weapon that kills the Reapers, and let us deal with the sacrifices we made; not the ones you force us to make. If that had happened, I'd have given this game a 10/10, if a bit biased in my scoring.

But the actual ending? My Shepard suddenly does a Face-Heel Turn due to some God-Child-Space-Angel-Thing telling him very basic information. We came to stop the Reapers. Now, all of a sudden, we are considering saving them/controlling them, just like the guy we've been fighting for the past dozens of hours? And then there's the merge... Ugh. It's not terrible, but is just so out of left-field that it screws with the whole tone of the series. Mass Effect has barely ever touched on the topic of transhumanism, and the only cases were EDI in 3 and Legion in 2 and 3. It wasn't a central focus.

But hey, now you gotta choose. Because... Deus Ex Machina demands it. Shepard dying (breathing cut-scene excluded, of course, in which she might as well be dead...) only rubs salt in the wound. If the ending were good? The death would have upset me, but I'd at least have a sense of fulfillment. As-is, I just feel like I got backed into a corner and nothing I did mattered. Completely killed any interest I have in replaying any of the three games.

Which is sad, in itself, considering I just bought both ME1 and 2 on the PC for that sole purpose of a three-game marathon. =(

I hate to, but I agree. When I finished ME1 and ME2, I started over as soon as the credits stopped rolling. I don't see myself going through ME3 again as unlike ME1 or 2, the game here doesn't end on a note of satisfaction, achievement or victory.

[Fair34]

Usually, after beating a game for the first time, I jump right back in and do a replay, but with an ending like this I just don't have the desire right now. I may replay in the future but not until that bitter taste the ending left me with goes away,

[Praetor86]

Agreed.I was planning on playing a full renegade Shep after Paragon but whats the point when in the end i have to pick the same three choices.

[Olueq]

Me1/2/3 all have no replay value anymore.

I agree the endings make replaying the entire trilogy pointless.

[MASSEFFECTfanforlife101]

I'm....scared....scared....of how the Ending of ME3 will turn out for me. So Scared, seriously.

I have done So much in ME1 and ME2. What if it all goes down the drain? I don't wan't to see Death and Destruction.

[Lexagg]

Oh, I will not be touching any of the ME games. The only reason I kept playing was because how emotionally invested I was in story and characters. The ending was essentially "it was all just a dream", which makes it impossible for me to invest in it emotionally again. Shame.

[Kastien]

Yeah, sadly I have to agree as well. I played through ME2 four times within the first two weeks I had it, and periodically several more times between then and now.

Before I finished ME3 I was already looking forward to another playthrough on two other characters, but now I can't even bring myself to turn the game on. The endings are complete crap, absolutely counter to the theme of choices and fighting fate, have no epilogue, and completely undo everything you spent the last 3 game accomplishing.

Ruined my entire week.

[Jonathan Shepard]

16 endings? Really? Because I count 4. So much for this: http://www.nowgamer....e_or_death.html
Even if there are 16, it's not like it changes much. It would've been much better and acceptable had their been closure and an epilogue like DA:O. So much extra replay value would've been there.
ME3 isn't devoid of replayability... but it's pretty low on it when you finish the game.

God, how did the Devs not feel this and realize it was the wrong way to go, leaving so many loose ends; not letting the player ask questions of the Catalyst at the end...?
